The Mystery Book Club will meet on Thursday, June 24 to discuss Pushing Up Daisies by Rosemary Harris.Meet Paula Holliday, a transplanted media exec who trades her stilettos for garden clogs when she makes the move from the big city to the suburbs to start a gardening business. Paula can handle deer, slugs, and the occasional human pest -- but she's not prepared for the mummified body she finds while restoring the gardens at Halcyon, a local landmark.Casual snooping turns serious when a body is impaled on a garden tool and one of Paula's friends is arrested for the crime. Aided by the still-hot aging rocker who owns the neighborhood greasy spoon, a wise-cracking former colleague, and a sexy Mexican laborer with a few secrets of his own, Paula digs for the truth and unearths more dirty business the town has kept buried for years.The Mystery Book Club is led by Nancy Hughes and Kelly Westhoff, both long-time Bookcase employees.
